From Our Founder


Remembering May/June 1983


I’m sorry that I missed the


May issue of The Rider. As you may be aware I lost my wife Katherine to Cancer on May 31.


She was there for the founding of several of our publications The English Rider and the Canadian Quarter Horse Journal as well she coined the names of several of our Orange aPEEL products. She worked as advertising sales man- ager and did all our book keeping. She will be missed. See story in this issue.


I have received several emails


regarding my ending of this col- umn.... several had expressed their concerns about the new comers to

ment she was always there for me when I had HST questions or anything else I needed help with.


the horse industry not knowing the history of our business.... The Rider has been around for almost 50 years... WOW. So for the time being I will continue the tradition.


Our cover story in May 1983


was about Lucky Sugar a Palomino Quarter horse stallion owned by Slim and Sandy Norsworthy, the stallion was celebrating his 25th Birthday, our June cover was de- voted to the WHAO Extravaganza Barrel racing. During the event the executive formally announced the

years and I have so many good memories. I will miss my Mom very much but I feel extremely lucky that I had the opportunity to spend so much time with her and my Dad throughout my lifetime mak- ing great memories.


Note: I am very proud to say that donations made in my Mom’s name to Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue Center helped in the rescue ot a fam- ily of four donkeys. (See the photo at left)


We had a lot fun over the


for an overview and discus- sion about EIA in Canada, the current regulations in place and what steps labora- tories and veterinarians are taking to manage EIA test- ing (“Coggins”) and disease outbreaks.

It was announced in The Rider that Patty


Brouwer a member of the Dunnville Saddle club and second runner up at Quarterama ‘83 was hired as the barn manager at Finlay Col- lege in Ohio.... not too many Canadians get hired into the horse industry in USA.... today Mr. Trump would find a way to stop it.

My Turn I advised State Farm Insurance aka Certa


that I would continue to expose their ignorant attitude regarding a no fault insurance claim. I accepted a settlement and they short changed me $25.00 and have refused to send a letter by Canada Post of no fault. Talk about an easy way for the insurance industry to walk away from their responsibility by using the Ontario Liberal government’s no fault legislation to

back up their formal theft ring. You may be aware someone backed into


the rear doors of my van and under the so called “No Fault Claims” State Farm Insur- ance, aka Certa, Desjardines refused to settle my claim. All they would do is write it off. The vehicle is mechanically sound with new tires and brakes all round and a new steering system. They would only allow me $750.00 and haul the vehicle away. Heck, the new tires cost that much. Please be VERY Careful who you do busi-


ness with. For the full story contact me at aidan.finn@bell.net or check out this website: https://insureye.com/Reviews/Auto-Insurance- Reviews/24-State-Farm Next month I will have a good story about


a profound nightmare I have experienced with Westjet the so called “Owners Care” Airline. Any bets on how soon Mr. Trump will


suffer a heart attack, be institutionalized, be Im- peached or just resign? All I can say about this cartoon character is that we “the Lying and Fake media” should just “ Consider the Source and Rise Above”. I’m sorry, I just can’t find it in me to call him president. No way.


Thank you once again for looking down in this corner.
